The other day i was driving th DC to visit my best friend and i got about half way and my tire blew out and the guy that helped me broke off two of my studs(bolts) and i made it all the way with two studs on opposite sides but my question is how hard is it to replace the studs i talked to one guy and he said that i needed all these tools and it would take a long time but im thinking that i wont need all that stuff but i dont want to jump in not knowing what im doing so if anymore knows any sites or anything please write me back thank you Chris

Ouch. Very risky driving on 2 studs. Those could of been over stressed... Knock the old studs out with a punch then feed the new ones in from behind. Use a wrench or a impact to draw them through but make sure you use some spacers/washers so you dont run the nut over a none threaded part by going to far. That should be all there is to it. Add some never-seize to the threads before you start and the final torque will be 100 lb ft.
